When Connor Danson becomes an unwitting witness to a violent crime,
he is forced to leave Sacramento and keep a low profile until the trial
is over. He arrives in the tiny mountain town of Virgin River with a
chip on his shoulder and an ache in his heart.

Leslie Petruso didn’t want to leave her hometown either. But she
can’t stand another minute of listening to her ex-husband tell everyone
that his new wife and impending fatherhood are the best things that ever
happened to him. Virgin River may not be home, but it’s a place where
she can be anonymous.

Neither Connor nor Leslie is remotely interested in starting a new
relationship…until they meet one another. Even they can’t deny they have
a lot in common – broken hearts notwithstanding. And in Virgin River,
no one can stay hidden away from life and love for very long…

My Thoughts:

This was a great story about Connor Danson and Leslie Petruso.
Connor after witnessing a murder is placed in Virgin River to hide out
until the trial, which also separates him from his family. His younger
sister Katie and her twin boys. Connor begins to fall for Divorcee
Leslie who is dealing with an ex-husband who just won’t let go
regardless of the failed marriage. She finds her own way to get on with
her life with Connor in it, and realizes she can accomplish anything
with her friends and new romance with Connor. Connor decides in the end
he would prefer to spend his life with Leslie and live in Virgin
River. What a great book full of humor, romance, and ups and downs of
relationships!
